FOREWORD 


HIS Collection, brought together during the activities of a long life, 

is a varied one and one of the most interesting to be dispersed in New 
York City within recent years. 

The late owner secured many of the choicest works during years of 
periodical residence abroad, and was always prepared to add any fine things 
offered by the local galleries that contributed toward rounding out the 
collection. 

For the writer, one of the gems is Number 33, the portrait of 
Marguerite of France by Ambrosius Benson, after which the Madonna and 
Child, Number 55, by Pier Francesco Fiorentino, wields a strong fascina- 
tion. A like subject by Cesare da Sesto, Number 60, is a charming example, 
as none other of Da Vinci’s pupils painted such captivating bambini. Jan 
Gossaert (Mabuse) is well represented by a silvery altarpiece, Number 28, 
and other Early Flemish and Dutch masters are Cornelis of Bruges, 
Albert van Outwater and Lancelot Blondeel. 

The Bellinesque Madonna and Child by Chodignola, Number 57, is a 
newcomer, showing also the distinct influence of Cima da Conegliano, while 
the treatment of the drapery bespeaks a contact with South German 
Masters, who were frequently met with in Venice at this period. 

The Holy Family of the Neapolitan School, Number 77, is a very 
strong performance and for that reason was generally accepted as a Van- 
dyck, but careful comparison shows a distinct manner of the late Nat- 
uralists, who derived their best impulses from Ribera. 

There is a beautiful Corot, Number 40, illustrated in Robaut, and a 
fine Troyon, Number 41, of his middle period, as well as a representative 
Diaz de la Pena, Number 44; and contemporary art is to the fore with two 
characteristic pastels by Mary Cassatt, Numbers 43 and 46.
